My AP is approved on 27th, but I did not receive it so far. I already booked my tickets and have only one day left for my travel.

Would it be safe to travel now? Are there any risks involved in doing so?

Please advice.

Thank you

First USCIS stopped giving name check status over phone, now seems like they have stopped giving name check status in infopass as well. Another thing is these people are too rude. I am not sure sure what we are supposed to do, not even ask what is the status?

I had my infopass appointment today, it was not worth wasting the 60 seconds. I go up to the IO, this lady is so rude she would just say my case is pending. I asked about name check she says that cannot be discussed due to security reasons. I called up customer service and could get to the second level that was an IO, who confirmed my name check is pending.

Infopass depends on the IO or you could be in for some sour grapes ....

Hi, I'm in a desperate situation.I am an asylee and have filed for my LPR.My asylee relative petition has been approved for my wife. My problem is: a have a newborn baby who resides with my wife outside US and the US Embassy did not issue him any kind of visa,since my wife went for the interview after the petition was approved.She is all set and done,but my baby got born after I've been granted asylum and couldn't file the asylee relative petition for him.The law says that babies born after the asylum decision are not eligible for derivative asylum.I read that Humanitarian Parole would be a solution for these cases,but the officer at the embassy claimed that I should file a relative petition for him ,or file for humanitarian parole here in the US. My question is can my wife file for Humanitarian Parole at the US embassy,or is there any other way I read that US Embassies abroad are authorized to issue humanitarian paroles.I think this is the mos inhuman decision I ever heard of and it's about my baby. I would really appreciate any help

(This is what I found on the internet) QUESTIONS SUBMITTED FOR NSC CONFERENCE CALL REFUGEE/ASYLEE ISSUES FEB. 28 2008

5) I-730 CASE or HUMANITARIAN PAROLE? What can be done for the beneficiary spouse of an I-730 Asylee Relative petition if she gets pregnant and has a child (from the petitioner, of course) after the petitioner was granted asylum �therefore this new child is not considered a derivative- but before she completes the Visa 92 process at the US Embassy. Does the US Embassy have the authority to parole the newborn child for him to join the rest of the family in the US?

Answer: If the child was in utero at the time of the asylum grant the regulations provide benefit to that child as a derivative under 208.21(b). If the child was not in utero and the relationship with the child was after the asylum grant, then a I-730 petition can not be filed on behalf of this child. The U.S. Embassy does have the authority to grant a humanitarian parole and that would need to be addressed with the U.S. Embassy.

In the words of William F. Buckley Jr..... some of my first instincts are reprehensible! Glad you finally got CS2....How are you liking it so far? (It IS out of the box isn't it?)

Thank you gc_1000_waats, My attorney also suggested the same as you had mentioned. So, what is the difference between filing MTR and re-filing after it is declined? Why can't everybody whose h-1 petition has been declined, re-file for H-1 rather than going through the tedious path of MTR?

Well the reason is money. When you are reapplying you are paying the full fees to USCIS again ( I am sure USCIS likes it :D).

I am not too sure but I guess when you file MTR, you are not required to pay any fees.

I received RFE today that says" your application contained form I-693 in which the required TB skin test was not conducted. Please note there may be conflicting information on some published form I-693 instructions regarding when the chest X ray Report should be performed. It is required only when the TB skin test indicates a reaction equal to greater than 5 mm, or when the reason for why the TB skin test is medically inappropriate to perform has been annotated on theform I-693. Please submit a newly completed form I-693 indicating the results of the required skin test.

On Form I-485 Part3 C list present and past membership in or affliation with every organization, fund.......If none, write "NONE" or include name of organization.....Provide your answer on the photocopy of FormI-485 (enclosed) with your signiture and the date next to your answer"

I did TB skin test in 2007 that came negative and it appears to me, civil surgeon did not updated results on I-693 form. Today, I got sealed envelop from doctor and she has updated TB test results conducted in 2007 on new I-693 form. Is that ok or I need to do new TB skin test? Please let me know.

On checking copy of original I-485, I had answered Part3 C with "NON" instead of "NONE".I have few questions on this:

1.Visa Office did not enclose photo copy of Form I-485 as was stated in the RFE letter.Should I send photo copy of original I-485 with correction and signiture on it?

2. Do I need to send them only this page of Form I-485 or complete I-485 form? Please help.

Is $500 what your wife pays from her pocket (and employer pays the rest) or is this the actual cost of buying insurance?

In the former case, expect the actual cost under COBRA to be significantly higher.

I was unemployed for the past 1 year and am thinking of applying for unemployment benefits. Will this cause any problem in my I-485 application like the employment agency informing the USCIS. Is there a way that the USCIS will find that I am currently unemployed because of applying for benefits and reject my GC.

if your EAD is based on YOUR I-140, then I dont think you have a valid status. During AOS, you need to have a job in the same category the EAD is valid for, unless you are the dependent.

In AOS, you cannot apply for unemployment benefit as it will trigger an USCIS audit. By US law, if you are unemployed and are PRESENT in the US, you are entitled to umemployment benefit as you paid into the system. By law again, if you are in non-immigrant status (AOS is considered non-immigrant until you get the green card), and you lose your job, you have to leave the country or you will start accuring illegal stay.

Check with your lawyer before you do anything.

THose are labour filed.

It is difficult to pull the 140 stats for the same labour. But I did a rough data extract from immigration.com based on what folks have mentioned, it seems like 140 is taking 8 months average presently, RFEs are in 40 % of cases, and also approved 140 seems to be like around 2000 in total for EB2, and EB3 categories for 2005 filings.. which means large numbers are still pending in Texas or Folks have not updated their data.

One thing that emerges clear from the data pattern :

Presently EB2 turn around time for Perm is approx 26 days, EB3 is 41 days average. 140 for EB2 from a MNC = 6 months, 140 for EB2 from a small company 8 months avg.

Hi Immi2006.

Please help me understanding this..

Your statistics underneath::; 1) Is it NO. of Labour Petitions filed in those years and categories or 2) Are they Numbers of Labor and 140 approved pending cases for 485?:confused:

Please enlighten me....

thanks:)

So, I was talking to one of the attorneys and he mentioned that one should contest the denial within 30 days and as long as it is approved, we don't have any problem. But, if the MTR is rejected, then all the days that have been accumulated after the denial will be in illegal status. What is the probability of cases of MTR getting approved after the relevant documents have been published? For the client letter denial reason, did anybody furnish further documents? Appreciate your inputs
